Ubiquitous Love

Chapter 8

Time flew faster than I expected. Today marks our first day in our midterms as second year pre-dentistry students. Si Ari at Abi ay busy din pareho sa prelims nila, nagkasabay sabay kasi kami. It's currently 6AM now and I only got 1.5 hours of sleep. I got out of bed and went to get ready for school while holding my reviewer to recall what I studied the whole time. I was walking to the kitchen when I say Abi and Ari already in their uniforms while studying.

"Good luck on your exams, girls," I said, they both looked at me and I laughed when I saw that we were all stressed. The three of us looked like we never slept. I put my phone on time lapse and placed it at the center of the table. Nakakatawa kami tingnan ngayon dahil habang kumakain ay may dala dala kaming reviewer.

Umuna na ako sa kanila at habang nasa jeep ako ay naghahanap ako ng audio para sa IG story ko. Nakarating na ako sa school at nakahanap na ako ng music. I tag the both of my friends and proceeded to my first exam. I saw Chastaine who was walking so slow while reading her reviewers.

Abi and Ari reposted my story with a caption.

guluhin mo lahat wag lang ang isang thomasian na may prelims

She saw me and waved. "Good morning, Aea. Naaral mo ba lahat? Ay syempre naaral mo, pwede mo ba 'to i-explain ulit," She said while yawning. So on the way to our room, I explained to her the concepts of our topic. Dumating na kami ng room at nakita namin na mas nauna pa sa amin ang proctor.

I looked at my watch, 7AM na pala. I went to my seat and calmed myself to take our first exam. I prayed first before getting my test paper. Buti nalang at lumabas ang mga inaral ko kagabi, I sighed in relief. I was on my last page when I heard our proctor making noises behind me.

"I clearly saw that you were cheating, Miss Riza. Let me see your ID," Our proctor said, anger was evident in his voice. "I did not, Sir! Sinulat ko lang 'to ngayon!" Riza replied. She was now shaking and her face screams fear. I saw Riza looking at me with so much hatred in her eyes.

"We will be settling this in the office," Proctor said while bringing Riza. I shook my head and focused on my paper. My first day went fine. Our exam ended during 12PM so we decided to eat before going home. I am contented with my efforts so I'm confident with the exams. Bumaba na ako ng jeep sa may tapat ng Uncle John's.

I immediately smiled when I saw Rye patiently waiting for me. Noong nakita niya ako ay luminawanag ang kanyang mukha at lumapit sa'kin. "Hi, Rae. How was your exams?" He said while getting my bag. Ngumiti ako sa kanya at nagkwento kung anong nangyari kanina habang naglalakad kami papasok ng Uncle John's. It was already 1PM, buti nalang at nagkasundo ang schedule namin.

"Tapos si Riza! Parang nagalit ata siya sa'kin, wala naman akong ginawang masama sa kanya..." I said while sipping my Choc-o. "Baka naman naiinggit lang sa'yo, mahal," He said. Our eyes widened when we realized what he just said.
